Stein POV
"So you're sure about this?" I asked. I felt like an idiot for doing this, but I was willing to do anything to get Chrona to see me in a good light.
"Of course I'm sure!" Spirit insisted. "Now go do it!" He shoved me around the corner and out into the hall that led to Chrona's room.
I was dressed in some stupid white tux, holding a bundle of yellow roses. I felt like an ass. I turned to Spirit. "Damnitt, this is rediculous!" I whispered harshly, trying to not let Chrona hear me. "I gave her flowers before and she left them in the hall! She'll just kick me out!"
"It's different in person, you jackass," Spirit replied snidely. "She won't know you mean it if the only way you can show affection is when you hide yourself. If you want her to trust you, you need to be more upfront!"
"And what if Kid's there?" I wasn't scared of Kid, but I hated akward situations.
"Just do it!"
"Fine!" I huffed and composed myself, walking to the room and taking a deep breath before knocking.
Kid POV
I was sitting in Chrona's room with her. I had just gotten back from another mission and decided to spend time with her rather than heading home. I felt like maybe I should keep a closer eye on her. I didn't like that I had to leave her by herself...and I REALLY didn't like that Stein had his eyes on her.
"It sounds like it went well," Chrona commented. I had just finished telling her about the mission.
I smiled. "Yeah, it did. Of course, I could have gone without Liz's whining that it was too creepy or whatever."
We were interupted by a knock.
I looked to Chrona. "Were you expecting company?"
She shook her head. "No, Maka had come by earlier."
Odd..."Would you like me to answer it?"
She blushed. "If you want..."
I stood and opened the door, thinking that maybe if it wasn't Maka, it would be Liz and Patty checking up on me. I wasn't expecting to see Stein standing there.
In a white tuxedo holding flowers, no less.
"Oh, hey Kid," He greeted calmly. "Chrona here?"
I felt my eye twitch. "Yes," I growled. I turned to Chrona on the bed. "It's you're admirer, dear," I told her, opening the door further to show Stein there.
She went red and stood. "Hello, Professor," She greeted. "What brings you here?"
He came in and held out the roses for her. "I just came to see you. I had seen these roses and they reminded me of you," He smiled. "And I thought that maybe you'd accept them if I gave them to you in person..."
I watched on as Chrona frowned at the gift. "Professor...You know I won't take these..." She clarified. I supressed my smile by biting my cheek. "I appreciate all of this, but I'm with Kid-kun. I love him, not you. I'm sorry." She bowed slightly.
Stein POV
I was frozen. Bad enough Kid was watching, but he was watching me be rejected.
By his girlfriend.
Why the hell did I think I should accept Spirit's advice? The man's divorced for crying out loud!
I laughed nervously, running the back of my neck. "Yeah...sorry. I know you do..." I had never been so humilated in my life. "I suppose I'll just leave you be now...
Night, Chrona."
She nodded and I headed out, seeing a small smirk on Kid's face before he shut the door behind me. I sighed and began to head back. When I turned around the corner, Spirit was waiting.
"So, how'd it go?"
I snapped. I pinned him to the wall. "How do you think it went?" I hissed.
"Whoa! Hey! What happened?"
"She turned me down again! That's what happened!" I let him go with an irritated huff. "Maybe I should just give up..."
"No way!" Spirit grabbed onto my shoulder. "You can't give up! You'd just be confirming her fears! That she doesn't mean anything to you and you're just using her!"
Actually...I kinda was using her..."You need to keep trying!"
I sighed. "Yeah, I guess...But what now?"
"We just need a new plan is all."
Kid POV
After Stein left, I looked to Chrona, who was blushing darkly.
"K-kid-kun, I'm so sorry," She said. "He's been so insistnt and I keep telling him 'no' but it doesn't seem to be enough-"
I cut her off by crossing the room to press my lips against hers. I wrapped my arms around her and felt her melt, her arms moving around my neck. When I pulled back, I rested my forehead on hers. "Chrona, you didn't do anything wrong. There's nothing that will change Stein's mind about you. I don't like that he has his eyes on you, but I can't blame him either."
She smiled. "Th-thank you, Kid-kun,"
I took her hands from around my neck and held them in mine. "Chrona...I don't know about you staying here alone..."
"I don't understand," She admitted, searching my face.
"I don't trust Stein's ability to...hold himself back." I clarified. "He's always been the type to go after what he wants no matter what that'll cost...and what he wants is you. I can't change his mind, but I can do my best to keep you...safe." I took a deep breath. "Chrona...I was wondering if...you'd like to live at my house."
Her eyes widened. "Live...with you?"
I nodded. "Yes, I...I already spoke to my father about it and he says that he has no problem with letting you leave the Academy. And Liz and Patty seemed excited. They started going on about how they'd love to dress you up and take you out. And I...I just want you...with me..." I bit my lip and blushed. "I understand if you don't want to, but...I just thought I'd offer..." When I looked back up at Chrona, though, she just had a smile on her face, her eyes glazed over looking as though she was about to cry.
"Oh, Kid-kun, I'd love to!" She threw her arms around me in a tight hug which I returned gratefully.
I could hardly believe how amazing this all was.
